Are New Yorkers the only people in the world always rushing, always in a hurry? Are we so wrap up in our thought, and activities we forgot how to be polite, or we are just rude and lack of refinement.
Crossing path
A visitor told me among other things that, he got cross path and brush shouldered with more people in New York City than anywhere else in the world, and yet doesn’t seems like anyone care to acknowledge their encounter.
How often did you brush shoulders or bump into or cross path with someone on the sidewalk or subway terminals each day? Almost no one apologize, instead most people just squeezed by and move on, especially in the subway cars, the focus is just to rush and get out
What happened to a simple “ Pardon”?
We all learn from an early age how to behave in a civil society, are we lost it along the way? Perhaps it is just the environment of a large city, we learn from watching others, and do the same?
Polite society is the reflection of her citizen, are we New Yorkers such a rough and tumble crowds that we does not even know how to behave in a civilize manner? Perhaps we are too arrogant to behave properly.
Next time when you cross path with someone may be you will do the right thing?
Please share your thought.
